built myself a new pc and put the ssd from my old system in it, vulkan doesn't work now
my old pc had a ryzen 5 3600 and an rx 570, and like 2 months ago my 570 died so i replaced it with a gtx 1650. i have multiple linux systems installed on several ssd's so i wasn't sure if i ever used the gtx 1650 on this cachyOS install specifically, but looking at how the "nvidia-smi" command works, i assume i did use the 1650 with this specific cachyOS install. anyways, all i did was remove the ssd from that pc and put it in this pc, which has an i5-11400 and a 6700 xt. for some reason vulkan doesn't work. none of my games on steam launch, persona 3 reload gives some sort of error about how dx12 isnt supported on this system, the finals just gives a mysterious error message, forza horizon 4 just doesn't boot up at all. i thought it would be fine to just use the same ssd on two different setups, like i wouldn't need to do any extra work or anything. oh and if its relevant, i haven't updated this system in a while, and when i did yesterday, it updated like 6 gb worth of packages, there were like 430 packages updated. idk if thats relevant or not. i hear you need to update frequently or else shit breaks but its been fine? mostly? idk if this issue im having is relevant to that. what can i do? thank you for reading

Is it worth running a VM + Parsec to play with my girlfriend?
Hey everyone,
I’m thinking about playing Dead by Daylight with my girlfriend. She saw me playing, liked the game and wants to play too the problem is that her laptop can’t run it.
My PC can handle it easily and has the following specs:
- Ryzen 7 5700X
- RTX 3060 (12GB VRAM)
- 32GB DDR4 RAM
- 512GB SSD
I use CachyOS as my main OS for gaming, and the idea I came up with is this:
Run a CachyOS VM, install the game inside it, and use Parsec (or another remote play software) so she can play remotely from her laptop.
Important detail: I have a 500 Mbps internet connection and a router in my room, so the local network is fast and stable.
Yes, I know it sounds a bit crazy.
But so far it’s the best solution I’ve found for us to play together without having to build another PC or replace her laptop.
My questions are:
- Is this viable in practice (latency, performance, DBD anti-cheat, etc.)?
- Has anyone tried something similar?
- Is there a better alternative?
Any suggestions or experiences are welcome. Thanks!

Lutris, heroic or Faugus?
What's the best launcher in your opinion and experience?
I'm not considering Steam.
I tried using Heroic but didn't have much success with some games. I find Lutris easier to run, but the range of settings ends up confusing me about whether I'm using it correctly.
I recently used Faugus and found it simpler, but I still have the same doubt about whether I'm using it correctly to get the maximum performance.

W11 to Linux for gaming. Help me choose between CachyOS and Nobara
Hey fellow gamers,
As per title, I'm looking for a change of OS in my 30 years of gaming on PC. Always been on Windows.
I've narrowed it down to two very recommended distros these days, but I cannot make the choice by myself.
My rig is pretty new, a 9800x3d and (currently being shipped) a 5080 GPU, 64 gigs DDR5, 1 4k TV, some HDD RAID 1 besides 2 m.2 SSDs.
Things that do hold me back a bit, but I think i found some solutions for, are that i run a custom water cooling controller that doesn't have linux support (Aquacomputer octo) and a Focusrite Solo for mic/speakers. Found some solutions online, hope they will work with whatever distro you choose for me :)
Now, to get accustom to linux, i installed on a secondary PC a Fedora xfce distro (chose this because it's a older PC) to run my plex library, and for the love of god i cannot mount more drives and add them to the plex library. I have to learn alot of commands, sudo this, sudo that... But with small steps, I hope to get there. But from what's I've seen, these gaming distros are more user friendly.
All I wish for from this choice is not having to tinker with it every couple weeks or so. I don't mind reinstalling fresh or anything big every like 5-7 months, that's fine. But not every week.
What would you go for? Are they that close that's only a choice of design?

What’s the best way to limit fps?
Now, before you say MangoHud, hear me out lol.
I have tried MangoHud, VKD3D and something called Strangle. And neither of them work for all the games.
For example, if I cap High on Life at 90fps using MangoHud, there is stutter, frame rate drops and huge frame time dips. But if I use VKD3D limiter command, it’s buttery smooth.
Conversely, Marvel Rivals is smooth with MangoHUD and not with VK.
But then comes Ratchet and Clank, which just slight judder with both of them.
Gamescope -r command does not work at all.
I have tried Late and Early frame time options in MangoHud but no joy.
Is there anything else I can use? I really like MH + Goverlay combo but it doesn’t seem to be single solution for all needs.
I am on an Nvidia card with CachyOS.

A Linux AHK Alternative?
I am using Cachy OS KDE Wayland. I used to use AHK to make my pc hold A for 125 seconds, then hold w for 2 seconds. then D for 125 seconds and w for 2 seconds again. Looping this. The thing that kept me from switching to Linux is the fact I couldn't find a Linux Alternative for this but I ended up switching anyways. Anyone know how to make this a reality on Linux?

Can I disable Steam Proton for certain games?
I have some games that run only via Proton, but some game have native Linux support. Can I disable Proton for certain games, but all other games by default would run via Proton? I'm on Debian.

Does the UGreen DP to HDMI adapter support CEC on NVidia cards?
Like the title says, i saw posts about people getting CEC to work with their machines with a ugreen adapter but most people here (understandably) run AMD GPUs, i have a big RTX 3090 that i used to use for 3D renders that i'm now using for a couch gaming setup, it does 4K HDR perfectly and i'm really happy about it.
A big piece of the puzzle missing for me is the lack of CEC support to make it truly console-like and i've not seen a post about it with NVidia.
So hence the title of this post, is it a thing or should i go with a pulse-eight adapter instead?
